Chapter Seventy-One: A Village to Seize Wealth (Part II)

The rival mountain in late autumn is full of gray and yellow. The gray ones are mountains, and the yellow ones are trees. There is really no scenery, occasionally with a little green, it is one of the few pine and cypress trees in the opponent mountain, they are mixed with deciduous trees, and they are stubbornly fighting against the time.

Wang Yun and Wu Bai found Wu Shuang and the others between the yellow ashes, and the place where they were located was the southern half of the opponent's mountain range, and it was halfway up the mountainside, and from the edge of here, the entire mountain road was reflected in the bottom of the eye.

According to Wu Bai, this is the second of the three places that Wu Shuang and they have identified, and the first place that Wang Yun has also visited, is on flat land, just outside the east exit of the mountain road, and Wu Shuang is especially in favor of building this cottage there. The reason is that it is closer to Yunzhai and it is faster to send troops to block the road, however, Buxue resolutely disagrees, he thinks that it is only on flat ground, and if there is a caravan that does not accept resistance, it is likely to bring a lot of losses to Yunzhai. Although Wu Shuang is the main mother of Yunzhai and Wang Yun's wife, but in terms of managing the cottage, they are both the same, they are both Zhao Ying's deputies, and the weight of their words is about the same, if Buxue does not back down, then Wu Shuang can't directly use Wang Yun to press him, otherwise Wang Yun's majesty will be damaged in the future, which is what she is not happy to see. So helplessly, Wu Shuang had to discuss with Buxue again, where to choose the address, if there is really no conclusion, then in the end I have to let Zhao Ying and even Wang Yun decide.

"Mistress! The lord is coming to you! Seeing Wu Shuang and them, far away, Wu Bai shouted like the other party.

There were Wu Shuang, Buxue, and twenty-one people over there, but it was Huang Hong who brought twenty soldiers to protect the two. They were sitting there, as if they were discussing something, and when they heard Wu Bai's shout, they all turned their heads. Seeing that it was really Wang Yun who arrived, they all stood up and walked towards Wang Yun.

"Shuang'er, Buxue, Huang Hong, and everyone, thank you for your hard work!" Wang Yun looked at them and said.

"What the lord said, what's so tiring about this, and even if it's tired, that's where the duty lies!" Buxue was dressed in a gray cloth robe, his face was straight, but he refuted Wang Yundao.

"Brother Yun!" Wu Shuang saw Wang Yun, of course she didn't need to salute, but her face was a little red, she was excited, she also did a lot of things in Yunzhai, although Wang Yun knew, but she didn't pay much attention to it, it's not that Wang Yun didn't care about the three daughters, but they were basically together every day, Yunzhai was close at hand, what the three girls had done, Wang Yun really knew everything, and knew that a few women could be happy when they usually did things, so he didn't ask anymore. But who doesn't want what they do to be recognized, Wu Shuang is the same, of course she knows that Wang Yun let go of her hand and let her manage Yunzhai is the greatest support for her, but if Wang Yun can praise her again, of course he is happier. Now that Wang Yun has found them, it just so happens that the matter of this cottage is her and the head of step learning, which is a good opportunity for Wang Yun to learn more!

"Shuang'er, how is it, how did you discuss it with Buxue? Has the address of this cottage been set? Wang Yun didn't greet a few people, after all, they were all people he saw every day, and he asked the right question when he came up.

"It's almost there, there are two places that are very good now, but I have different opinions from Bu Zhen, so it's up to Brother Yun to confirm." Wu Shuang didn't talk nonsense, Wang Yun answered when she asked, and she didn't even hide something that was a little different from Buxue.

"Oh? Didn't you say that there are three places? And where is the third place? Is there a big difference between the two you chose? Wang Yun was a little curious, of course, his main purpose was to see if the place was suitable for building a cottage, if it was okay, then he would simply choose that place, so as not to make Wu Shuang or Buxue ugly.

"This, lord, that place is good, especially suitable for building a village with this kind of role, but it is not suitable for our cloud village!" Wu Shuang and the two glanced at each other, smiled bitterly, and Buxue took out the map near the mountain road, which they drew by themselves in the past few days, although the painting is not very good, but all kinds of terrain and various names can still be clearly marked. Buxue pointed to a location on the map and said to Wang Yun:

"Look, lord, this is it!"

Wang Yun looked at this rather rough map, staring at the location marked by Buxue, it is indeed a very good location to build a cottage, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a stream outside, although it is on flat land, but the terrain of Yunzhai is not bad, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he hadn't listened to what Buxue had just said, he would have been sure that this would be the place right away, but with Buxue's words at the bottom, he knew that this place must have insurmountable obstacles in Yunzhai. Sure enough, Wang Yun looked at the map carefully a few times, especially after finding the location of the mountain road, he had to smile bitterly, because that place was actually to the west of the mountain road, this, no matter how good the place is, it is unlikely that Yunzhai will build the branch village over there, it is really a bit far, and the danger is too big!

"What about the other two?" Since there is no way to use the golden mean, I have to choose in the other two places.

"My lord, it's here, and it's here." Buxue listened to Wang Yun's question, and he immediately pointed out two more places on the map, one of which was on flat ground, and the other was where they were now. Both of these places are not far from the eastern exit of the mountain road.

Wang Yun carefully inspected the two places.

Needless to say, there is no natural danger on the flat land, which is to build a stockade on the flat land that is surrounded on all sides, and it is not far from the road, although there is still a little woods in the middle, but it is actually similar to building a cottage on the road. This seems unreasonable and arrogant, but Wang Yun can also understand some of the intentions of choosing a site here. It seems arrogant to build a cottage on the side of the road, but in fact, Yunzhai now has this kind of arrogant qualification, the medium-sized cottage rising in the middle of the opponent mountain range, even if the village is built on the road, ordinary people do not dare to provoke, although arrogant, but it also shows the self-confidence of Yunzhai, of course, the risk is also large, if there is really an eye-open, then maybe the two hundred people who will be placed here in Yunzhai will be killed, after all, it is just a walled village on all sides, and the surrounding area is open, although it is not easy to attack, but it is much simpler than Yunzhai.

And now the place where they are, that's the standard cottage address. First of all, he is halfway up the mountain, which determines that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack after it is built, and it is backed by a mountain, and it will save some materials to build a cottage, and now in order to take into account the caravan on the mountain road, it is just possible to observe the situation in the mountain road and the mountain pass, and it can be seen that it is an ideal site location. There are a lot of advantages, first of all, compared to the place under the mountain, it is much stronger than there in terms of concealment, after all, it is on the mountain, and most cottages are the same, ordinary people can't detect it, but, this is useless, because what is this cottage for? It's here to collect protection money, and people will definitely know that this bit of concealment is not very useful. Secondly, it is to have a broader field of vision and stand high and see far, which is an immutable law for the ages. Finally, it is better to protect the soldiers in the event of an accident.

"Lord, do you think it's better to build this cottage there?" As soon as Wang Yun's eyes left the map, Buxue found it sharp-eyed, and then he asked.

"Both places are good, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Address No. 1 (i.e., on the flat ground) seems arrogant and bold, but it can let pedestrians know the courage and self-confidence of our Yunzhai, and it has certain benefits for sharpening soldiers, but it is slightly riskier. The second address is a normal cottage location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with a better view, but it also has shortcomings, and it is a little farther away from the mountain road. In my opinion, uh, let's build the cottage on the hill, although we may miss some money, but after all, our soldiers are safer. Wang Yun first commented on both places, and then said his choice, he did not choose the place Wu Shuang chose, the reason is as he said, the risk is high, then it is more likely to sacrifice soldiers, just by virtue of this, Wang Yun will choose to build on the mountain. Of course, there is also a low-key meaning, after all, Yunzhai's victory over Qinglongzhai has been in the limelight, and now it is still a little low-key.

Wu Shuang listened to Wang Yun's choice, her eyes darkened slightly, but it was only an instantaneous thing, and no one noticed it except herself. She also understands that Wang Yun chose to be here, just like Wang Yun said, the two places have their own merits, and she also understands, but she prefers that side, since Wang Yun said that she will build a village here, she doesn't care.

"No comments? If you have no opinion, then let Liumen bring the craftsmen over tomorrow and start building the cottage. When we have built the cottage, as long as we guard this mountain road, I believe that the money will roll in, and then we can go to the city to buy the things we need for the development of the cottage and accelerate the development of the cloud village. Seeing that none of them spoke, Wang Yun continued. Liumen is the owner of the wooden village, is an old man, although he is a second-order scribe, but he has no achievements in internal affairs and strategy, but is very talented in carpentry, and now there are a lot of craftsmen in Yunzhai, one-third of them are from the wooden village.

"But, my lord, do you have complete rules for charging in caravanserai?" No one has an opinion on the establishment of this sub-village now, but Buxue raises another problem, and it is a key one.

Wang Yun was stunned, he hadn't thought about it, now that he thinks about it, although they are doing business, they don't want to rob the caravan directly, after all, the reputation of this mountain road has been ruined, so where will the money of Yunzhai come from in the future, what he wants is a long stream. In this case, it is necessary to consider a charter.

"I haven't thought about this yet, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

"The mistress has thought about it, and she should have an idea." Buxue mentioned Wu Shuang, in fact, this matter was also discussed by Wu Shuang and Buxue, but he didn't mind giving the credit to Wu Shuang, Wu Shuang is the main mother, if he has always been in the limelight, then his own small shoes may be indispensable in the future, this is what he has to consider.

"Brother Yun" Wu Shuang was about to say.

Wang Yun did interrupt her, because it was not too early for him to see the sky, and the sun had already set in the west.
